NeuroscienceWed, 08 Jul 2015 14:00:08 EDTnews355582335Training brain patterns of empathy using functional brain imagingAn unprecedented research conducted by a group of neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to train brain patterns associated with empathic feelings – more specifically, tenderness. The research showed that volunteers who received neurofeedback about their own brain activity patterns whilst being scanned inside a functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) machine were able to change brain network function of areas related to tenderness and affection felt toward loved ones. These significant findings could open new possibilities for treatment of clinical situations, such as antisocial personality disorder and postpartum depression.http://medicalxpress.com/news/2014-05-brain-patterns-empathy-functional-imaging.html

Attention deficit disordersMon, 17 Feb 2014 11:10:51 EDTnews311857837Training your brain using neurofeedbackA new brain-imaging technique enables people to 'watch' their own brain activity in real time and to control or adjust function in pre-determined brain regions. The study from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital – The Neuro, McGill University and the McGill University Health Centre, published in NeuroImage, is the first to demonstrate that magnetoencephalography (MEG) can be used as a potential therapeutic tool to control and train specific targeted brain regions. This advanced brain-imaging technology has important clinical applications for numerous neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions.http://medicalxpress.com/news/2014-01-brain-neurofeedback.html
